Well, here we 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: are on a Tuesday night in December, and we're already 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: at the next to last college football playoff poll that 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: came out tonight. And and look, there's a lot to say, 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Well there is miss is better with Wayne Kiffing gone. 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: There is a lot to say and that for some reason, 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Alabama is now better than Notre Dame. I don't know. 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: I guess Alabama's better. We'll put them ahead the wind blow. 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: This is a precursor, I will give you. This is 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: a holiday precursor to what is going to be an 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: absolute fire sale tire fire when the final poll comes 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: out and you see teams that wind up getting left out. Okay, Now, 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: obviously the top of the pole unchanged. Ohio State, Indiana 28 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: one two, Georgia number three, Texas Tech, Oregon is up 29 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: a bit in Texas A and M drops a couple spots, 30 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: but still safely in the in the playoff poll. But 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: the big things we see out here, and this is 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: where everything is coming into play. Now, why I say 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: get get ready. Even though there's it's not going to 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: be a lot of movement in the top ten. The 35 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: movement's gonna be ten, eleven, twelve, and who gets left out? 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: But understand that you've seen some movement. You have seen conferences. 37 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: Politic great. Apparently the committee loves the politicking of the 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: SEC because now they're going to have five teams in. 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: Apparently because for some reason Alabama beats an okay, Auburn team. 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Now let's put them head of Notre Dame. Not that 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is great, but did Alabama really deserve to 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: get up there? This tells you Alabama is getting in 43 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: to the college with all play, barring barring unexpected craziness. 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: And it's college football, so there is craziness. But barring 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: that you have seen it is working for us. The 46 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: SEC they have politic great, The ACC is not politicking 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: well at all, and you can wind up getting left out. 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: This is the craziness we are getting to with the 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: college football. We talked about it a couple of weeks 50 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: ago that we started to see a lot of the 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: comments coming out of the committee that leant towards style points. 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: And certainly it does not hurt that you're mouthpieces are 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: on all the place that hosts it, right, and all 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: the shouting and yelling nets going on of hey, you 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't penalize because of this. Everybody now doing the stumpy thing. Well, 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: if Texas hadn't played that game, it's like they did, 57 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: Yeah they did that. Like that doesn't magically proof go away. 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: You want to re simulate it in your damn video games? 59 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Had at it? Well, that's but that's become a popular 60 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: thing now because when when Manny Diaz, head coach, a 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: Duke former sports enter Pa well Many Diaz talked about 62 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: how does his team deserve to be in the AC 63 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: title game. Obviously, even if they win, they're not going 64 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: to the playoff, but you know they deserve to be 65 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: in the a SEC title game. He goes, well, yeah, 66 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: look at our losses. I'll be with us to a 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: top ten, two top ten teams, a top eight team, 68 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: a top I'm oh, so what you're saying is, hey, 69 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be penalized because we lost a good team. No, 70 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: that's them. You're a good team if you beat good teams, 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: saying what you're telling me is that, hey, we're okay 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: beating the teams at SNAK, but you know we play good. 73 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: Hey what do you expect you to do against good teams? 74 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: But the Texas argument, you really just more laughable because 75 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: you lost to Florida. Didn't they just fire their coach 76 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: because they didn't like him. Well, you know when you 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: hear lost to Florida, Oh you lost to Florida, Florida, No, 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: Florida's state. The old ball coach and Tim Timo or 79 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: not walking to Terry Dan and Danny whirfol and this 80 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: is not Percy Harvin and this is this is not 81 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: Chris Leak and oh this is different. But no, but 82 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: you get it's an absolute blank show and it's and 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: it's coming at you at all sides because you look 84 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: at the teams are gonna wind up getting left out 85 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be big teams getting left out. And 86 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: the ACC is at the cusp of this because they're 87 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: not smart enough to understand that, oh, we're fighting for 88 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: our lives as a conference. The SEC gets it, the 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: Big Ten gets it. You may not like how the 90 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: Big Ten and the SEC go about their business, but 91 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: I know one thing. They are not going to rest 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: unless they get all twelve teams into the playoff from 93 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: their conference the strongest. Damn right, we want Maryland in 94 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: at twelve, right, we want to get that. But here's 95 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: the ACC and it's, oh, yeah, yeah, Well, maybe the 96 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: tie breakers should be different. You think You didn't think 97 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: that maybe the tie breakers should be highest ranked team. 98 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: You didn't think that would be a big thing to 99 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: get you thought about all the other conferences, think about 100 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: everything else. You didn't think that, oh, maybe highest ranked 101 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: team should be in because that's our best chance of 102 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: getting a team in the playoffs. You don't see how 103 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: crowded out you're getting. You think you're gonna wind up 104 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: getting teams in all the time when it's big ten 105 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: sec Like, I can't look, I can't blame those two 106 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: conferences for doing a better job at politicking and the 107 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: AEC for going well, you know, I guess we should 108 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: maybe have said something, yeah, no, you know what, you're stupid. 109 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: You're stupid, and there's no no wonder your conference is 110 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: getting run into obscurity by these other comments. You could 111 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: totally see it on a whiteboard. Though. He gets put 112 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: up there in a corner and it's like, ah, but 113 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: what are the we don't need to worry about that. 114 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: What are the odds that's actually gonna happen? Right? I 115 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: love the commentary today though this is good from uh 116 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: you're Achech, the athletic director at Arkansas. I can tell 117 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: you the debate between Alabama and Notre Dame in the 118 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: past three weeks, strongest debates we've had the room for 119 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: the past year. Wait wait for it, Notre Dame went 120 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: on the road, had a strong win at Stanford. But 121 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, come on, man, this is not. This 122 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: is not the NFL where all the teams stink. I mean, 123 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: come on, this is called you have good teams at 124 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: college foot But Alabama went on the road in a 125 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: rivalry game and looked really, really good, especially in the 126 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: first half. Yeah, Auburn stinks too, right there. But like 127 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: to give you something little bit different because we told 128 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: you what a blank show what's going to be. And 129 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: when you see teams like Notre Dame Texas who could 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: wind up getting left out and boy leaving out Texas, 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: well they lost three top ten teams, well they be 132 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: three top ten teams. Okay, you're gonna get to sixteen teams, right, 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: We've talked with this for a long time. This is 134 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: gonna be the last year with twelve. They will find 135 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: a way to get all on the same pages. Say, okay, 136 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: let's let sixteen teams in next year because they're all stupid. 137 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 1: This year. They couldn't figure it out. We couldn't figure 138 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: out a way to get to make the money work 139 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: and get to sixteen teams, which is stupid. And now 140 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: you're going, oh, maybe we need to do that now 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: because and the main reason is that your pool of 142 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: contenders in the nil era has gotten bigger because you 143 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: are now talking about teams like Indiana and Texas Tech 144 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: that suddenly aren't it. Well they have to get in, 145 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: Texas A and M has to get in. These are 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: not your normal power teams that you would say, well, yeah, 147 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna get in the playoff. No, you're thinking it's 148 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna be all the heritage teams are all gonna get in. 149 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: But because of the NIL era and schools that have 150 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: figured out how to make it happen more than other 151 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: schools have, you have these new and it's not gonna 152 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: be every year. It's not gonna be. These teams aren't 153 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna suddenly become powers every year. But hey, when the 154 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: purse strings open up, you're gonna get that quarterback that's 155 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna get you to an eleven and one record because 156 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: you avoid the three best teams in your conference. Now, 157 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: so that's going to happen. Your contender's pool is getting bigger. 158 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do as a result, Well, 159 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: we got to make the playoff bigger because the SEC, 160 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: the Big tench we want more schools in the AC 161 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: wants to make sure we get at least one or 162 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: two schools in so magically in the offseason, watch magically, 163 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to get to sixteen teams. 164 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: They're just say, oh, yeah, we find a way to 165 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: make it all work out. We're gonna get that up 166 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: because this next week, that final pool is gonna be 167 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: a blank show, and there's gonna be teams that want blood. 168 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian might have blood dripping from his mouth if 169 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: Texas gets left. Yeah, but this becomes part of the 170 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: Machiavellian plan of it's been to sixteen or bigger all along. 171 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: It's just well, how do we get there? We need 172 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: to have a common villain, and the villain is that 173 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: damn ten through twelve man. Somebody has to be left out. Meanwhile, 174 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: they're sitting there going how big is that pot of money? 175 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: How big is that pot of money? For adding those 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: extra games over there? We can make it bigger? Right, 177 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: we can get bigger? Is it bigger? Do we really 178 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: we really can push this if we leave Notre Dame 179 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: out right? We can really push this if we look, 180 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: I love Notre Dame, you love Notre Dame, we all 181 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: love Notre Dame. But do we want Notre Dame to 182 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: get it over one of our teams. No, I think 183 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: we need to band together and make sure Notre Dame does. 184 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean I love Notre Dame. I know you don't, 185 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: but this is this is survival of the fittest. Or wait, wait, 186 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: even a more radical suggestion. We still expand the playoffs 187 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: like you had, but we go back to a non 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: human element. You put in your algorithm, you put in 189 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: your data. Yeah, it keeps people from getting that extra 190 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: trip and run through the trough and the lazy river 191 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: at the hotels and and all that they get with 192 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: their their perks of being on the committee, the frequent 193 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: flyer miles and and extra cell phones and all of 194 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: those things. But maybe maybe the computer was the right 195 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: way to handle this, because now now it's lobbying like 196 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: you're on Capitol Hill, dude, not on steroids, Like doesn't 197 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: even work like it's always been there. No one trust 198 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: computers anymore. No one trust computers anymore. Now we can't 199 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: trust there's AI. AI is gonna wind up doing something 200 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: crazy and picking teams that are four and eight from 201 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: the playoff. No, we can't have that. We've named Max 202 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Headroom or. 203 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: Max. 204 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Now you gotta explained to millennials who Max Headroom. No, 205 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: you did the impression. Give me little bit of a 206 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: mad Brewer right there. Yeah, there you got. I got 207 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: to come back in and black years ago. But yeah, 208 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: all of this is it's been a made for TV show, 209 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: just like the playoffs themselves. And that's like when we 210 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: talk about it for the NCAA tournament, that's always been 211 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: the case. So the fact that that's suddenly thrust into 212 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: people's faces and the the faux outrage over Lane Kiffin, 213 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: like this was new by the way, Charlie Charlie Weiss 214 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: junior junior, like Barti Crouch junior coming back that got 215 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: them boosted a spot. How do you think Lane Kiffin 216 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: felt about, Hey, hey he's going back. It went up 217 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: after you left. He worry was that it was a 218 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: free fall because you were gone. He doesn't care unless 219 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: you was gonna pay him the more successful. He said, Hey, 220 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: that's great. I'm glad they moved us up. I feel 221 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to do any prep work and I'm 222 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: gonna wind up getting some spoils from this. Do I 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: get a bonus if they get to the top five? 224 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: Based on some other chaos over Championship weekend. But but 225 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: all of it, as we've watched it through the first 226 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: go round, all the way through, we've had these fun 227 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: narratives about style points. Right. I read the little blip 228 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: about Notre Dame in Alabama right to show you, uh, 229 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: because Notre Dame kick the crap out of Stanford, which 230 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: they were supposed to. 231 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: Right. 232 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: They did their job just like we were talking about, 233 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: for a tough road win against Well, you know, I mean, 234 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: Andrew luck might have tripped down the sideline, or he 235 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: might have come back to throw a couple passes. It 236 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: just gets really close to the side he does. He 237 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: hasn't yet stepped over the line out of the field 238 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: of play. He's not Mike Tomlin tripped anybody. No, No, 239 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: Bill Cower, which when he tried to almost through the 240 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: punch the guy in the Jaguars when he blocked that kick. 241 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: It was a Chris Hudson right there running for a touchdown. 242 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Badly wanted to punch the guy. If those things never 243 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: come up on those guys, it's very interesting. But I 244 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: remember he went to apologize to him after He did 245 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: apologize to him afterwards. But all of this is, I mean, 246 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: it's amazing. The replay on the side. Hudson's like dancing 247 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: down the field and a coward just wrecks backets and 248 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: he takes a step forward. Those are the two photos 249 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: that need autograph pictures copies of on my wall. Did 250 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: get when he was flipping off the fans, right, that's 251 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: a famous one, and then the Bill Kawer So if 252 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: I can get those, that would be great on the 253 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: wall of mean, But it's a TV show, So now 254 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: it's politicking and stumping as best you can with your 255 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: loudest voices, because even going to A and M, they're 256 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: not like getting left out. They only have one loss, right, 257 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: But you we watched coach get a little weepy, uh, 258 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: you know because there were some noise and he and 259 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: he heard people celebrating what a you know, what non 260 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: unprofessional environment we have here. But like their schedule sucked, yea, 261 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: and nothing was made of that, but everybody went. But 262 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying because because the other side was 263 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: all the sec honks were going after Ohio State for 264 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: their schedule, like tex A and M had a walk 265 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: in the park relatively speaking, Yeah, but because you got 266 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: louder voices and maybe they've more numerous big voices to 267 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: stump for the SEC. Here's the thing. I don't mind 268 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: the politicking. I don't mind the stumping. I don't mind, Hey, 269 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: here's our schedule is better than your schedule, because I 270 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: like that. I think that's healthy, and I think that's 271 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: good debate. I think it's I think it's really good. 272 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Now when your thumb is on the scale and all 273 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: of a sudden, for no reason, Alabama is vaulted ahead 274 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame to make sure that they get in, Okay, 275 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: that's where that's where you got to throw a challenge flag. No, okay, 276 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: what what's really going on here with this? So I 277 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: kind of I don't mind that part, because you got 278 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: a debate about something right to be able to do that. 279 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: But the whole thing is that when you have a 280 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: sport that has no rules, how do you think this 281 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: is going to be done cleanly? I mean, that's they 282 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: you thought this college football has zero It is the 283 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: wild West of of sport. They have no When you 284 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: have no rules, this is just gonna be done with, Okay, 285 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: and let's see how it turns out. And there's gonna 286 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: be people who are hopping mad next week and people 287 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: who are gonna be happy without it. But it's gonna 288 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: be an absolute mess because good teams are gonna get 289 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: left out. Heritage teams are gonna get left out. And 290 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like last year where you got lucky, 291 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: where oh Miami should have gotten in. Well, Miami, you 292 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: lost Syracuse Laskin. You lost your third game of the year. 293 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: You had to win to get it that. I have 294 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: no sympathy for you there. I have no sympathy think 295 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: about that losing to Syracuse being a big no. It's true. So, 296 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: but that was one game. That was one game. This 297 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: is gonna be way more than that. You know what, 298 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: the old adages, you should have won more games. Exit. 299 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm out of Fresca.

But you know, you 330 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: don't get these games unless ye. The whole point of 331 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the NBA on NBC was a double header, right, But 332 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the whole point of when they had it years ago 333 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: was and today's double header the men of Teal and 334 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: Charlotte visit Michael Jordan and the Bulls, and then later 335 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: on the West Coast, the Lakers host the Blazers in 336 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: a big, big matchup.

You know, life 340 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: kind of changes as you go on. It's it's like 341 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: the complaint that everybody has, like, look, look at all 342 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: it would cost you to watch every game in the end. 343 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: In NFL, it's like, you know, once upon a time, 344 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: you got one or two games and you liked it, 345 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: you loved it. You had Monday night football, and then 346 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: you had what three games on Sunday. Maybe no, you're 347 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: really well no, no, no, I'm talking back. I'm talking like 348 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: when we were kids. Yeah, no, you had you had 349 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: your local game and then you had the and then 350 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: you had a late game, the national game or whatever 351 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: national game you had, whatever your team was playing. But 352 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: that's what I made. Like so, so that's what you got, 353 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: and you liked it, and you dealt with it, and 354 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: you got your highlights. They fired up the sports machine 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, and you know it was so special. 356 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: Was when like if like I remember, and I was 357 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: lucky because obviously in New York we get Jets and Giants, right, 358 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: so we get so I got more teams. But like 359 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: when that four o'clock game would end, and and and 360 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: and Don Crikiy whoever it was, would say and not 361 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: hearing it, you know, the final from the Meadowlands, the 362 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Jets beat you know, Jets beat the Broncos thirty four 363 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Now let's take you for bonus coonus coverage. 364 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers and the and the and the Oakland 365 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: Raiders are tied at forty five in the fourth quarter, 366 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, we're getting the end of this game.

But 373 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: all of that to say, like, it's like the Internet, 374 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: right when everything was free and then people realize, you know, 375 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: we're not making any money, like this click click click 376 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: click ad thing is like, eh, let's put it behind paywalls.

Franklin gets fired. Was this 513 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: was this something that was, oh, hey, we got to 514 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: have somebody come in and make a change right away. 515 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: We're gonna start winning. Once the door was opened in 516 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: the NIL era where you were able to allow rich 517 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: alumni businesses who wanted to spend money to bring in 518 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: these coaches. Once you allowed them in, they have become 519 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the people who make the decisions for all these college 520 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: football teams. Right, this is the ady doesn't make these decisions. 521 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: The general manager doesn't make these decisions. The governor gets 522 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: involved in things get messy. But this is when NIL 523 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: powerful NIL backers call and say, hey, man, we just 524 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: lost to UCLA. I just had to watch Rick new 525 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: Heizel's kid get carried off the field.

And that is something that happens all 530 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: the time. So what do you do If you're in college, 531 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: you're stuck because if you don't have the money in, 532 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: then al or you're not getting you're not getting the 533 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: kids to come in. So now suddenly it's we don't 534 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: have the coaches and we don't have the kids because 535 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna go or they're gonna get the most money. 536 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: You could say, oh my my heart bleeds burnt orange 537 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: with Texas. But if Texas an't giving you money, man, 538 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: hey my my heart bleeds Ucla powder blue. Hey I 539 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: want to go there? Uh so you're gonna go wherever. 540 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: These are the guys that make those decisions, So I 541 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: guarantee you this was Hey, guess what we paid and 542 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money to bring Drew Aller back. 543 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: We spend a lot of money to bring these guys 544 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: back for a big run here, and now we can't 545 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: even beat Ucla. They fired their head coach a week ago, 546 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: and and and we go out and we have this 547 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: kind of effort. Guess what, You're not getting any more 548 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: of my money unless we got a new head coach. 549 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do. You gotta get rid of 550 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: the coach. You gotta be able to make sure that deal. Okay, 551 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm good with money. These are the real and and 552 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: again in a sport without rules, these are the guys 553 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: out of the new power brokers. It is. It is 554 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: the rich nil backers that are running all these college 555 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: football prot Just wait till they get unionized, Wait till 556 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: they get into it together. Wait till they have these 557 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: meetings with each other, like like in the in The Godfather, 558 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: are all these mofa movies where all the family men, 559 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: the heads of the family, and and and the sopranos, 560 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: they all get together for meetings. Hey, someone's coming in 561 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: from Team Neck. We're gonna sit out of here. Wait 562 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 1: till all the big team power brokers get together. Who 563 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: do we want as the coach? Oh, we want this 564 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: guy as the coach. Okay, we'll pay because that's how 565 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: it's working at LSU LU. We want Brian Kelly fired, Great, 566 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: we're fired. We want Lane Giffen Okay, great, we got 567 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: you got money? Yes, you got our money. Okay, these 568 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: are how the decisions are being well, but that's how 569 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: it's always been done. Right now it's just more open, 570 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: open book, right, and we get to watch this playoff. 571 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: You've kind of powered them to make these are the work, 572 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: but they were always the folks behind you. Why do 573 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: you guys get fired? Well, we know what the approximate 574 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: buy on is. Now you've got more perfect information. Right, 575 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: It's like the any of these secondary markets and collectibles 576 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: or whatever else, like you know what it's worth. Almost 577 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: immediately thereafter likewise these biots like, well, here's all the caveats, 578 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: here's all the extra bonuses, Lane Kiffin got. So I 579 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: mean that that theory is certainly there, right. Why coaches 580 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: get to hang around, Well, they're liked by the moneyed people, 581 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: or they fall out of favor, or the money's already 582 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: been secured for whatever the project is, a stadium refurbishment, 583 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: new weight training facilities, a new trap. Whatever the carrot is, Well, 584 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: once they're actually consuming said carrots, like the coach doesn't 585 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: matter as much anymore. So you also have a couple 586 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: other things at work. James Franklin just had a hell 587 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: of a run. Didn't win against top teams. A lot 588 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: of guys don't. But if you're a coach, are you 589 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: looking at that going I want in? It's kind of 590 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: like the LSU job, like we're talking about Yesterday's Like 591 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of other stuff that's swirling. Oh, you 592 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: don't have the governor necessarily chiming in like you do 593 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: in Louisiana. But you also have and we've seen a 594 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: lot of this swirling up about Jimmy Sexty, who's the 595 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: agent for all the power coaches. So you have the 596 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: ability to go in and make ridiculous demands on everybody 597 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: and your clients. Right, so you power broker this thing 598 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: and then what happens, Well, we don't have a guy, 599 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: but you got to get rid of them, Okay, and 600 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: now you look at the absolute mess that Penn State 601 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: football is. Yeah, the betting Hodgs. Right, this was as 602 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: of yesterday. So you had Sataki and Bob Jesney. Well, 603 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: they're they're they're kind of off the board. Brian Table 604 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: is mixed, good luck. He was next at seven to two, 605 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: followed by Hypel Brahm, Terry Smith, and Brian Hartline. Yeah, 606 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: get right, Hey, that wide receiver room, Brian Hartline, get ready, 607 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: keep going down the line, Manny Daz, Ryan Day coaching tree. 608 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: Watch out. Well, you had the rumor that if they'd 609 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: lost the Iron Bowl, then Debor was suddenly going to 610 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: be available, right, sat swirling there. Lincoln Riley's on this list. 611 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: Everybody's on the list. How about that also on the list, 612 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: as Steve to say, is yeah, because he's he's got 613 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: the most open schedule to be able to take the job. 614 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: And also tell us what's trending. 615 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 5: No, I don't have an open schedule. We have our 616 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 5: opponents for eight to ten years. Hence everything is already 617 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 5: signed home and home. But we've got Texas State coming up, 618 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 5: we got Colorado State, all. 619 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: The big PAC twelve schools. 620 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: Everybody is signed. Okay, he negotiated that with Robert losing. 621 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: But you also know when the updates are so you 622 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: can balance that. 623 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 5: Well. Actually, on some shows I don't know where. 624 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 4: Well. 625 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 5: Ol Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Wins Junior will stay with 626 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 5: the team for the playoffs then leave for LSU.

They're older 721 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: and they're slow and there's trouble coming.

And I say maybe Serena Williams. 725 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: Is she about to come back at the age of 726 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: forty five years old. According to reports from earlier today, uh, 727 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: her name was on the list to be reinstated to 728 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: the active roster for the WT Yeah. Now, Serena Williams 729 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: put out a message saying, you guys, stop tripping. I 730 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: Am not coming back.

But this I 733 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: believe this has to be something money or Olympics wise, 734 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: where Serena being on the active list is going to 735 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: be able to benefit somehow from this. And always everybody, 736 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: everybody wins. If you've got the name attached, right, That 737 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: surname carries a lot of weight. Yeah. So is this 738 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,959 Speaker 1: something where she's gonna come back and play and play 739 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: doubles with Venus? Yeah? I adly the door up of 740 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 1: that like a half of one percent, But mainly it's 741 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: money or Olympics coming to to to La oriented for 742 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: her to come back. This is some sort of thing 743 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: we'll find out. Oh, this is why she's on this. 744 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a lot, a lot Like we've talked, 745 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: and I've talked more in your ear off off air 746 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: and you probably wanted to punch me repeatedly. For the 747 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: John Cena farewell tour. He's going to finish as an 748 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: in ring performer next month. Doesn't mean he's not showing up. Yeah, 749 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's not gonna come and give a speech, 750 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: do some photo ops and all that other stuff. But 751 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: his time as an active participant in WWE live events 752 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,959 Speaker 1: as a wrestler is supposedly well for now. We'll see. 753 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: It's like retirement tours and rock music.

We're not coming back next year. Well that's 759 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: a big fear here in the WWE side of things, 760 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: is that they keep having to lean at the guys 761 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 1: that are mid forties and beyond to keep carrying the show. 762 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: But for Venus, yeah, I mean with the Olympics and 763 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 1: just evens in general. If you get the name attached 764 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: to appearances, meet and greets, you know, just being a spokesperson, 765 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: it's a win for everybody. I don't know how that 766 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: has to work in the legal ease to be on 767 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: the active because you get into all the doping rules 768 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: and whatever else that you have to submit forms and 769 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: samples and everything else. But that's where we're at. But 770 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: that was fun for her to come out and say, no, 771 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: leave me alone. See that's why I like guns and Roses. 772 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: Are you No, we're not retal.

Now we could also and maybe this 779 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 1: has a better chance of happening, seeing Ronda Rousey come 780 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: back in MMA, as there are reports that she is 781 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,439 Speaker 1: negotiating with a megabout with Katie Taylor for next year 782 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: in Vegas.

She couldn't 792 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: beat anybody. She went to wrestling. It was okay for 793 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: a while. Now that hasn't worked out.
